Harry's search for the perfect vehicle could be that of many of our customers. Fortunately, Harry was savvy enough to know he could find a better price online for all of his OEM Ford parts- and fortunately, he found us! Congrats to Harry and his new F350!
My name is Harry. I have been a construction worker and F350 dump truck driver for most of my adult life. Last year I was in search of the perfect work truck to start my own small landscape construction company with my small $5000 budget.
I found my dream truck for the money, my 2002 f350 dump truck complete with the iconic 7.3L diesel engine which happens to be the last model year for the un-killable diesel engine for $2200. The truck needed an intense amount of rust repair and mechanical help to perform the job at hand. After $7500 spent on the truck and parts all done by my hardworking hands and parts from Tasca Ford I'm proud to say that next month I am going to unleash this 7.3 beast onto the road to work alongside me while I begin my journey of business ownership.
The truck has:
- New shocks ford OEM
- New leaf springs front OEM
- New leaf springs rear 5400lb rated
- Completely new steering rack, bushings, tie rods... The works.
- Rear suspension plates and U bolts.
- New rough country dual steering damper which is the only non-ford part on the truck.
No work had to be done to the brakes, fuel system, or Engine other than an oil change. 176,000 miles now and more to come.
Tasca has the best ford OEM parts prices out there all VIN # verified for a proper replacement. I couldn't have done this project for $7500 without Tasca would have been closer to 11grand from other ford part suppliers. Wish me luck!!!
This is what it's all about. Anything Is possible with a little elbow grease and some research. Harry was able to save nearly $2,500 on this project. Money, he could certainly use to help get his business off the ground! Speaking of Harry's business, if you're in Southern Massachusetts check out Holland Property Services! They do Wonderful work and I can tell you from first-hand experience, the owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
